Pixie
I'm a pixie I'm a paper doll I'm a cartoon I'm a chipper cheerful free-for-all I light up a room I'm a color-me-happy girl Miss live and let live And when they're out for blood I always give The man behind the counter looks like he's got A half a dozen places he'd rather be and furthermore it looks like he's prepared To take it all out on me Buddy, I don't really care what your problem is Just don't make it mine Come on kids, let's all hold hands And pretend we're having a good time Maybe you don't like your job Maybe you didn't get enough sleep Well nobody likes their job Nobody got enough sleep Maybe you just had The worst day of your life But you know there's no escape SongtexteAnd there's no excuse So just suck up and be nice Be nice Be nice Be nice... All the privileged white kids on TV playing at death Branching their cold cuts with their ghostly make-up And their heroine breath And all the little fishes are flapping wildly on their hooks While all the top critics finally meaning in the telephone book The little emperor has no clothes So he can't come out to play And besides which life is suffering And he likes it that way And the little guy is not so friendly But you know life has been cruel So wipe that smile off your face baby And try to be cool Maybe you don't like your job Maybe you didn't get enough sleep Well nobody likes their job Nobody got enough sleep Maybe you just had The worst day of your life But you know there's no escape And there's no excuse So just suck up and be nice Yeah, I would like to perfect the art Be studiously aloof Like life is just a boring chore And I am living proof I could join forces with an army of ornery hipsters But then I guess i'd be out of a job So I guess that's out of the picture Cuz I'm a pixie I'm a paper doll I'm a cartoon I'm a chipper cheerful free for all And I light up a room I'm the color me happy girl Miss live and let live And when they're out for blood I always give Aus Songtexte Mania
